In each harvest the best grapes are identified in the vineyard, hand-picked with great care and vinified separately.
The wine remains separated from the rest even during barrel maturation and is used to produce Brunello Riserva and
Brunello Prime Donne. In 2018 a small quantity of grapes and then of wine were jealously kept separate from the
rest, until they were bottled alone. Almost an experiment to see if the similarity with the rest of Brunello would then disappear. Instead, it increased.

This is why Donatella Cinelli Colombini and her daughter Violante have decided to emphasize the exceptional
nature of this Brunello, born as an “experiment” and then becoming a little jewel for wine enthusiasts looking for
exclusive bottles.
Determined to distinguish it from the rest, they inserted a golden stripe on the base of the label. The bottles will be
numbered, wrapped one by one and marketed mainly in wooden crates. The price increase is minimal and only
serves to highlight the difference.

Casato Prime Donne is a property of 40 hectares of which almost half of vineyard in the Sangiovese variety. The cultivation is organic, certified since 2018. It is located in the north of Montalcino where the climate is cooler and the soils are colder and rich in clay.
